What would be the best camshaft to run in an 89 305 TBI engine?

 

Lt1 cam with out a doubt, hello do some reading before u post

 

I just noticed, on this page, there are about 10 topics about camshafts or LT1 camshafts littered about. LOL.

 

I guess my question was little unthoughtful and vague. What I really want to know is the technical information of why the LT1 cam runs the best with a 305 TBI setup.

 

I once asked that question, but I dont beleive I ever got any good replies. Hope to see some info here!

 

1. They're cheap. Can usually find a used one for less than $100.

2. They are a roller cam. Direct swap for a L03.

3. They have quite a bit more lift and duration than our weak cams. That means more power.

4. From what I've read on here, you can still use your stock valve springs without any problems at all. That means it costs nothing more than new gaskets to put one in.

I'm sure there are quite a few more, but those are the main reasons.

5. The lift numbers are perfect for a 305. Not too high to bring the valve shrouding effects into play.

The Lt1 cam is just a great cam for the price and results. It plays very well with the stock components and is still computer friendly. All this from a OEM cam.

 

ok, so they fit an l03, what about an LG4?
